Characteristics of Patients With Severe Hypochloremia in the Emergency Department: A Single Center Retrospective Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Hypochloremia is an electrolyte disturbance in which the serum chloride concentration is abnormally low. Hypochloremia is associated with poor outcomes in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and coronary care unit (CCU), but little is known about its prevalence and prognosis in the emergency department (ED). We investigated the real-world prevalence and prognosis of severe hypochloremia in the ED. Methods: All adult patients (18 years old or older) with serum chloride levels measured at our ED between 2018 and 2023 were included. Hypochloremia and severe hypochloremia were defined as a serum chloride level of ≦97 and ≦80 mEq/L, respectively. Information collected included age, sex, serum chloride, and serum creatinine. Results: 11,065 adult patients had their serum chloride measured at the ED. The mean age of patients was 67 ± 20 years, and 53% were male. The mean serum creatinine and eGFR were 1.4 ± 1.8 mg/dL and 66 ± 48 mL/min/1.73 m Conclusion: The 30-day mortality of patients presenting to the ED with severe hypochloremia was high. Hypochloremia may be associated with poor short-term outcomes in patients presenting to the ED.
